Hechos 12:22 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 12:22

And the people gave a shout
At the end of the oration; these were flatterers, as Josephus says in the place before referred to, who cried out one from another, saluting him as God; saying, be merciful to us, hitherto we have revered thee as a man, henceforward we confess thee somewhat more excellent than mortal nature: and so it follows here,

saying it is the voice of a God, and not of a man;
the Vulgate Latin version reads, "the voices of God and not men"; and the Ethiopic version, "the city shouted in, or with the voice of God", with the voice of man; as if this referred to the acclamation of the people, and not the speech of the king; very wrongly.

Hechos 12:22 In-Context

20 Y Herodes estaba enojado contra los de Tiro y los de Sid贸n: mas ellos vinieron concordes 谩 茅l, y sobornado Blasto, que era el camarero del rey, ped铆an paz; porque las tierras de ellos eran abastecidas por las del rey.
21 Y un d铆a se帽alado, Herodes vestido de ropa real, se sent贸 en el tribunal, y areng贸les.
22 Y el pueblo aclamaba: Voz de Dios, y no de hombre.
23 Y luego el 谩ngel del Se帽or le hiri贸, por cuanto no di贸 la gloria 谩 Dios; y espir贸 comido de gusanos.
24 Mas la palabra del Se帽or crec铆a y era multiplicada.
